What made this job notable

Bungalow workflow with electrical capacity constraints

The source record flagged zero spare ways, so electrical headroom had to be visible early for design and office review.
Two ASHP siting entries were captured in one job record, requiring clear side-by-side visibility for decision making.
Four floorplan captures plus PlanUp linkage had to stay aligned to room-level evidence and technical sections.

What Vertex captured

Installer-ready structure around constraints and siting

Room-level structure

An 11-room layout held in a consistent pack architecture for design and install handoff.

Electrical evidence

Main fuse, phase type, spare-way count, meter position, and consumer-unit location grouped for fast review.

Siting + floorplan

Two ASHP siting entries and a PlanUp-linked floorplan set captured in one repeatable workflow.

Why structure matters

No-spare-way jobs need clear technical signposting

This case shows why Vertex positions itself as a renewable survey system rather than a generic export. Teams can jump directly to electrics, siting, and floorplan references instead of searching through a linear document.

PlanUp reference 703218386 and four floorplan captures were available within the same survey logic, supporting cleaner handoff between office, design, and install roles.

Installer takeaway

Structured capture reduces avoidable re-questions on constrained jobs

On properties with tight electrical headroom and multiple siting options, structured evidence is the difference between quick internal decisions and repeated follow-up loops.
